Scripture Readings:

“To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, in you I trust; do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me. Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame; let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous. Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long. Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love, for they have been from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for your goodness’ sake, O Lord! Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭25:1-10‬ ‭NRSV‬‬ https://www.bible.com/bible/2016/psa.25.1-10.

“The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” The Lord replied, “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭17:5-6‬ ‭NRSV‬‬ https://www.bible.com/bible/2016/luk.17.5-6.nrsv

First Scripture Reading:

Psalm 66:1-9

Make a joyful noise
to God,
all the earth;

sing the glory
of God’s name;
give to God
glorious praise.

Say to God,
“How awesome are your deeds!
Because of your great power,
your enemies cringe
before you.

All the earth worships you;
they sing praises to you,
sing praises to your name.”

Come and see
what God has done:
God is awesome
in deeds among mortals.

God turned the sea
into dry land;
they passed through the river
on foot.

There we rejoiced
in God,
who rules
by God’s might forever,
whose eyes keep watch
on the nations –
let the rebellious not exalt
themselves.

Bless our God,
O peoples,
let the sound of God’s praise
be heard,
who has kept us
among the living,
and has not let our feet slip.

Second Scripture Reading:

Galatians 6:(1-6), 7-16

(My friends, if anyone is detected in a transgression, you who have received the Spirit should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness. Take care that you yourselves are not tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ. For if those who are nothing think they are something, they deceive themselves. All must test their own work; then that work, rather than their neighbor’s work, will become a cause for pride. For all must carry their own loads.

Those who are taught the word must share in all good things with their teacher.)

Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith.

See what large letters I make when I am writing in my own hand! It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that try to compel you to be circumcised—only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. Even the circumcised do not themselves obey the law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast about your flesh. May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything; but a new creation is everything! As for those who will follow this rule—peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
